If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the

spring when it is stretched 10 m?
Physics

5 0

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

F=k\cdot x

We solve for k (spring constant):

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The work required is 250 joules.

While Robert was helping his father in the garden, he pushed a shovel into the ground to dig a hole in the dirt. He picked up a
makvit [3.9K]

Work done is given by the change in kinetic energy of an object

  • The kinetic energy of the shovel, the shrub, and in Robert's movement were changed, therefore, work is done in the given processes,

Reason:

Work is done when the total energy of object is affected by the application of force on the object over a distance

Therefore;

  • In option <em>A</em>, pushing the shovel into ground (to dig out the dirt) the requires the application of a force (push) over a distance, (into and out of the ground) therefore work is done
  • In option <em>B</em>, picking the shrub up gives it gravitational potential energy, therefore, work is done
  • In option <em>C</em>, carrying the shrub to the hole does visible work
  • In option <em>D</em>, holding the shrub while lowering it into the hole does work by preventing the shrub from falling randomly

Therefore, <u>work is done in the given processes</u>

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

To describe a situation in which you exert a force on something and it does not move, you need to Identify the action force and the reaction force, the relative size of the forces, and the objects they act on.

The magnitude of the static friction between the object and the ground is larger than the magnitude of the force applied.

The object will not move if the magnitude of the static friction is greater than the magnitude of the force applied.

The action force is the force applied while the reaction force is equal to the frictional force between the object and the ground.
